Erawan is a Thai restaurant located at the trendy Riverside Centre in Bryanston. The restaurant was opened in late 2015, and despite being newly established, it has been turning the heads of discerning foodies for all the right reasons. Diners to the restaurant are treated to the tastes of authentic Thai cuisine, Dim Sum and Sushi – dishes that are perfected by a team of masterful and dedicated chefs.

A dining experience at Erawan is best described as upmarket and contemporary, with Asian-style décor found throughout the restaurant. Yet despite its lavish appearance, the hospitality is both warm and inviting, with the staff catering to your every beck and call. The interior hums with activity; it is a place where friends gather over Thai-styled cocktails or platters of maki. The setting of the exterior is more tranquil and is ideal for al fresco dining on those balmy, summer evenings.

Diners who are looking for a light lunchtime meal or snack can’t go wrong with sushi. The menu is comprehensive and offers sushi-lovers a wide selection of all their favourites. For a quick nibble, give the ‘New Style Sashimi’ a try. This four-piece dish of tuna or salmon sashimi (thinly sliced) is served with a sesame soya dressing, spring onion, fresh ginger and chilli. Alternatively, if you’re looking for more variety, the ‘Jasmine Platter’ is a dish that can be shared with another or is a generous feast for one. The meal comprises of two pieces of salmon and tuna sashimi, four pieces of rainbow rolls and two pieces of salmon and tuna roses.

Guests who are visiting for an evening meal will experience fine dining at its best. The ‘Crispy Duck’ comes highly recommended by the owners, and provides you with a sizeable portion of half a deboned duck, served on a bed of fresh vegetables and slathered in the restaurant’s signature oyster sauce with mushrooms, chilli, garlic and herbs.

If you enjoy a bit of spiciness in your food, Erawan’s ‘Green Curry’ has a bite to it. This dish comprises of coconut milk, bamboo, peppers and basils. If you’re looking for post-work drinks with colleagues, half price cocktails are available from 3 pm – 5 pm daily.
